Is a fungi next upgrade?

SCHW? Get epic / better haste. EZ

I would go fungi, great upgrade if u solo a lot but also if u like to duo with shamans ! (which is best exp for a monk imo). And fungi is still great at lvl 60, so it's definitely worth it

Fungi is the best

Quick maths, at lvl 50+ mobs hit so hard, that ending a fight like 5-10 hits ahead of where you would otherwise (maybe 20-30 seconds?) can save you like 300+ HP. If you have a fungi, that htat would about 2 minutes just chilling out to regen it using just the 15 fungi regen.

I still propose better DPS output in the form of better haste / epic.

if you already have schw there is no reason to buy a haste item except epic mq before you have fungi

the regen is ridiculous regardless of some possible mathematical calculation where the slightly more hasted monk kills a mob very slightly faster and takes 1 less round of combat which might add up to several ticks of fungi regen

Well the pipes are not the last pieces I need. I have the first robe lost circle and no pipes. I still need all the book drops and to do all the fights. I have a good guild very capable of assisting me through the fights and they have sky on their schedule weekly so if i work hard at it the epic should come relatively quick.

I have a large group of people I duo trio and full group with very often so I rarely solo anymore other than occasionally killing low db and some xp greens while I wait for the group to form. Normally within 20min of logging on I'm in a group anymore.

As others have said, it depends somewhat on what you plan to do. I think in most scenarios, a fungi tunic makes the most sense. If you're soloing, it's a no-brainer to choose the tunic. If you're primarily doing full groups in KC, Seb, etc., then you'll probably be pulling mainly and possibly some off tanking before mobs are cc'ed. I find that having the extra regen for pulls and any form of tanking you do to be the better option. The only time I see a haste item or better weapons taking priority is if you're doing duo/trio stuff where dps may be more of a concern.

That being said, you should definitely look into doing your epic since the monk epic is one of the better ones and not incredibly difficult to complete. But I wouldn't put your farmed funds toward it if you can help it.

Except you know, epic means he will need new haste, and any of the 'decent' hastes basically translates directly into 10-15% more DPS, meaning a fight ends that much faster.

The extra dps outshines the (somewhat minimal at 50+) regen because you can do some simple factual math calculations where a higher DPS monk kills a mob faster and takes much less overall damage which adds up to more significant time savings than a fungi.

Saying fungi is better for solo at the 50+ range is neglecting all the factors into efficient killing and only looking at one facet. Dmg you dont take = no reason to regen hp.

If you're counting on a fungi to save you during FD on a bad pull, have fun waiting for 5-10 mins while you regen (not very XP/hour friendly).

However, if you are tanking in a group (often) then fungi is more useful as the damage its regenerating saves a lot of healer mana over time, but otherwise, DPS is better in almost every situation.
